My New Home on the Web
Perhaps obviously, the content on this blog is very old; I have not maintained it in many years. Nevertheless, I still occasionally have people looking for me wind up here.
If you would like to follow my adventures these days, the best place is https://craigandera.org. Below is the text that previously appeared here.
My (now-deprecated) site is Get Smarter and Make Stuff, where I chronicle my adventures attempting to do those two things. It's an umbrella project for a blog, a YouTube channel, and whatever else I decide to add.
As one note, it is NOT generally a programming project. I get enough of that at my job these days, so I focus more on building physical objects. But that line gets pretty blurry when you get into things like CNC, so I'm not saying it won't have ANY software content.

ThinkRelevace: The Podcast, Episode 011
The latest episode of the podcast is available in the usual place. On this one, we talk to Jen Myers, one of our designers. I've worked with her a few times now, and she's great. We had a fun conversation about the various things she's into, most notably Girl Develop It Columbus.
Quite a long time elapsed between recording this episode and posting it. That certainly had nothing to do with my desire to get it out there, but other episodes had tighter timing considerations. So I'm very glad that the schedule cleared enough that we could finally get this one out there.
Go have a listen, already!

ThinkRelevance: The Podcast - Episodes 009 and 010
I've been a bit remiss in posting here. I imagine most people that listen to the podcast are watching out for new episodes over at the company blog, anyway. Still, I wanted to call out these episodes because they're two of my favorites so far.
First, on episode 009, I got a chance to talk to Alan. We talked about Relevance's recent re-launch of our training efforts, which was cool. But my favorite part of the interview was the bit in the second half where Alan launches into a really interesting explanation of some academic papers he's been looking at lately. Good stuff.
On episode 010, I finally got to interview Stu Halloway. I've wanted to have Stu on since the beginning of the podcast. We talked about Datomic, of course, although not exclusively. You can tell by the extensive show notes that we covered a lot of ground.
Both episodes were a lot of fun for me, and I'm already looking forward to having both of these guys on again.

ThinkRelevance: The Podcast, Episode 008
I realize we just released a podcast two days ago, but a) there hadn't been one for almost a month before that, and b) I had already recorded this one with Fogus talking about Himera, his ClojureScript compilation web service. Himera just got a facelift and some new functionality, so it seemed like a good time to put out an episode where we talk a bit more about it.
Of course, we didn't limit ourselves to just talking about ClojureScript. We also hit reading, German rock, and a bunch of other interesting stuff.
Go listen!

ThinkRelevance: The Podcast, Episode 007
I just published ThinkRelevance: the Podcast, episode 007 to the intertubes. Have a listen! We talk to Clinton Nixon (the man so awesome it took two presidents to name him), about his Ruby on Rails setup. Clinton is an interesting guy, and I had fun talking to him.

ThinkRelevance: The Podcast, Episode 006
The latest episode of ThinkRelevance: The Podcast is up. On this episode, I had a chance to talk to Larry Karnowski, mostly about Relevance culture. Relevance has a very interesting set of practices and traditions that are a large part of both why it's so fun to work there and why we're so good at what we do (if I do say so myself). Larry is one of the key keepers of that culture, and he does a great job of explaining what many of those practices and traditions are.
